The Chain•cable and Anchor-v.:sting, Bill is now fairly in operation, the Board of Trade having ap pointed Mr Robt, Galloway, of London, inspecting engineer under its provisions. Mr Galloway has already paid an official visit to the powerful chain testing machine eructed at great expense by the Mersey Board at Birkenhead, and, after a careful inspection, he pronounced the Machinery excellen' and the arrangements most complete. The Birken head establishment is considered the most perfec• in the country, and it will confer an immense benE fit on shipping by thoroughly testing that portion of the outfit on which the safety of a vessel and all on board so frequently depends. It would be immensely for the public good if machines of a similar power ful quality were erected in other places.

NEW YORK DIVISION, SECOND MORTGAGE BONDS. PENNSYLVANIA. DIVISION, FIRST MORTGAGE The chain and anchor manufacturers of the Wear are combining for the formation of a company to erect a chain and anchor teat in Sunderland, to comply with the new rules of Lloyd's. The building and machinery, it is estimated, will cost from £5,000 to £7,000. Lloyd's rules are already in force, but to relieve the Wear manufacturers from the difficulty they were in owing to the want of a test, the authorities have agreed to accept certi ficates from the present test, under proper inspec tion, for a period of three months. At the end of that time the rules will be rigorously enforced, and if there be no test completed the manufacturers must either shut up shop or send all their produce to be tested on the Tyne. BONDS.

Early in the session of the present a bill for similar objects was intro duced into the House of Commons, which bill has now, after considerable opposition, passed the Legis lature and come into operation. Your committee regret that the provisions of this bill, conferring THE DERBY. 30 to 1 agst Archimedes (taken) City Sewers Comniiksion, °were on the Board of Trade to grant licences, did not cor.fine the testing of the cables and anchors to public machines, instead of extending it also to private persons.' It is still, however, in the power of shipowners and others to have their cables and anchors tested at public establishments should they prefer it. And no ship can now be classed with the figure 1, in Lloyd's register of shipping, unless provided with anchors and chains proved at a public machine. On the whole, your committee regard the measure as a benefit conferred, not only on shipowners but on the public interest in general, affording as it does protection to life and propertyen.. gaged in maritime commerce; and they would em brace this opportunity of expressing the deep sense entertained by them of the obligations which they and the shipping interest must feel to the hon. member, Mr Lckird. who not only brought the bill into Parliament, but by his personal exertions greatly contributed to carrying this important mea sure to a successful issue." The Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London mat yesterday at Guildhall for the despatch of public business, Henry do Jersey, Esq., ecputy, presided. After the despatch of some formal matters, a memorial signed by a number of the inhabitants of Aldei•sgato Ward, was read, complaining of the want of light In Aldersgate street. The matter was referred to the General Purposes Committee for consideration and repo i t. An application by a Mr Percival for permission to apply a newly-invented carburetor to the public lamps of the City, and which, it was said, would be the means of effecting a great saving to the ratepayers while giving. a good light to the lamps, was referred to the Special Gas Committee. One of the contractors to the Commission was fined XS for neglecting to cleanse certain thoroughfares in his district. SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT AT THE JUNCTION OF LUD GATE-HILL, BRIDGE-STREET, FLEET -STREET, AND FARRINGDON. STREET. The Engineer to the Commission, Mr Was. HAYWOOD, presented to the Court the folios ing report : " To the Honourable the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London. " Gentlemen,—lt has been arranged with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company that the Commis sion shall, under certain conditions, purchase of the com pany ground belonging to them, sa as to make Ludgate hill, west of the point where the railway bridge will cross that street, 60 feet in width. "The time for making final arrangements as to this widening is now approaching, and it appears to me upon con sideration that a favourable opportunity presents itself for effecdng a larger and infire important improv, went at that spot, by which the mixing of the traffic, which is now incon venient and even dangerous to pedestrians as well as to vehicles, may be greatly reduced, if not altogether prevented. "By the plan which I beg to lay before yotiit is proposed to form a circus 160 feet in diameter at the junction of Lud gate-hill, Bridge-street, Fleet-street, and Farringdon-street; to make a resting place in the centre of the &rcus, and thus to cause the traffic going in any direction to travel round it to get to the opposite side. The obelisks are to be set back, resting places aro to bo formed round them so as to facilitate the crossing of foot passengers, and further to regulate the cerriage traffic. "As the whole of the property on the Ludgate-hill side of the circus is to be removed, the commission will only have to acquire such vacant ground as may be requisite, and one half of the circus can be e arr i e d ou t very shortly. It will be to the traffic, in itself a great easement even if the other side be not completed. - " To complete the west ern h a lf o f the circus three houses only would have to be t a k en down ; these the commission can acquire under the p owers o f i ts a ct, should it approve of the plan, and be abl e t o o b ta i n t h e f un ds to carry it out.e cinsi cr " Submitting this t o th - •d ation of your honour able Court, There are other gentlemen too, besides Mr Laird, to whom the cha:nmakers and the public owe many thanks for their energy and devotion in the agita don for the establishment of a compulsory proof. Foremost amongst these is Mr John Trotinan, the inventor of the patent anchor. The wreck of the Royal Charter proved to Mr Trotraan the greo in terest the c( u it ry had in abolishing the sale of in ferior eagles. He wrote to newspapers, discussed the question with pi actical men, and corresponded with the operative chainmakers, who seven' months previous to the wreck of the Royal Char ter had issued a circular describing the inferior cha racter of much of the chain that was manufac- Lured, and otherwise aided in bringing about the passing of the bill.

The Taeping rebellion has at length been brought o a close, and the question as to whether our policy should be one of intervention or non-intervention effectually set at rest, at least for a time. Nankin fell into the hands of the Imperialists, after several days' fighting, on the 19th inst., together with the principal rebel leaders. The Tien-wang, the rebel Emperor, avoided the pain of witnessing this final disaster by taking gold-leaf two days previously. When the besiegers commenced their attack the Chung.wang escaped, with the Tien.wang's young son and several others, but was taken, having given up his pony to the young Prince; the Kan-wang, who has frequently been mentioned by visitors to Nankin as the Shield King, is also a prisoner. Whether it be that recent information by spies of the miserable state of the garrison induced the Im perialist leaders to shake off the apathy in the hope of an easy (Inquest, or whether Gordon's instruc tions during his recent visit showed them that their task was easier than they anticipated, they shortly after his visit began 'to show signs of unwonted vigour. A breach of 120 feet in width was made in the outer wall, by the explosion of a mine near the east gate, containing above 60,0001 b of powder, and by the 19th, the whole city was in their hands. The news reached Pekin on the 24th, having been forwarded by couriers, at the rate of more than 100 miles a day. Few details have yet been received of the .losing scenes of the siege, so I am only able to give you a brief outline of the occurrences. Nan kin, as is well known, was defended by three walls— an outer wall, a second surrounding the Tartar city, and a third which had been constructed round the Tien-wang's Palace. The Tartar city was not gar risoned by the rebels, so the assailants had only two lines of defence to attack. An assault was made on the outer wall at dawn on the 18th, and before noon it had been carried at every part, and the garrison bad fallen back within the inner line if fortifications. The steamer Confucius, which is under charter to the Shangtung guild of merchants at Shanghai, ohancad to be lying off Nankin at the time, and rendered ef f icient service by engaging two strong batteries that the rebels had erected g the river, and which had hitherto defied the distant Lilies 'of the Imperialist gunboats. The Confucius, which is commanded by an American, nad been sent up by the Chinese authorities to con vey treasure to the Imperialist troops, and Captain R awee deemed he would be rendering them agree able service by availing himself of the opportunity ff,red to lied them the aid of other metal which he carried as well. Her 18 pounders soon made the batteries untenable for the rebels, who abandoned them after half an holies sharp engagement during which the Confucius lost two men killed and had a third wounded, and the Imperialist gunboats came up and took possession. The troops, on their part, lest very little time in following up their first success; the second line of dtLeice was ate tacked and carried before daylight on the fol lowing morning, and by the evening of the 19th all Nankin was in their hands. The fortifications which. had been' erected round the Fien - wang's palace are said to have been defended with desperation; but the garrison was too weak to resist the large forces that the Imperialists were able to bring against thern,and the latter soon t Elected an entrance by battering down one cf the gates. The first sight which met the victors on entering the palace was the corpse of the Tien-wang, lying evidently in the position in which he had died, and the bodies of a number of his wives hanging from the trees in the garden. The Kan-wang was her e arrested, and with the Chung-wang, whose capture 1 have already alluded to, now lies a prisoner in the house of the Imperialist commander, awaiting sen tence from Pekin. Chung-wang estimates the strength of the rebel garrison at from 18,000 to 20,000, and does not attempt to disguise the straits to which they were reduced. He is said to be intent on writing his life. There can be little doubt that he will be condemned to death ; indeed, it would be unwise on the part of the Government to set so fa mous a leader at liberty, as his name would attract thousands of the disaffected from every part of the empire if he chose again to raise the standard of rebellion. Of the garrison, part escaped, and cart were made prisoners, It does not seem that any excesses were committed by the Imperialist soldiery, as has been the case on other occasions. The city is miserably dilapidated, and the streets were full of the bodies of persons who had evidently died of starvation. No loot is reported by Capt. Browne, of the bark Craw- of value was found, except the Tien-wang's seal, fords, which arrived yesterday from Newcastle, to which was ofsolid gold, and weighing 301 b.

There was about the usual attendance on the Heath this (Tuesday) morning. Thalestris proved herself a stayer in the Fifteenth Triennial by making all the running and winning in a canter, the favourites, Early Purl and &a mender, being beaten at the hill. The Hopeful looked a rather open race for the young ones, who, from the penal ties, met on pretty equal terms. The result was a grand turn for the fielders, Puritan most unexpectedly defeating the two cracks, Gardevisure and Kate Hampton, by a head, after a slashing race. The chief event of the first day is always the Great Eastern Handicap, one of those T.Y.C. scrambles that everybody condemns, while everybody gambles on them. Always bringing together large fields, with a great probability that the first away will be also the first past the chair, they are the greatest uncertainties, an outsider generally disappointing the favourite's backers. There was the usual delay at the post, the Hersey filly and Vandervelde getting away in front when the flag fell, a Grimshaw, who was riding Gemma, waiting with great patience until the last moment (she being of an uncertain temper), when he brought her out, and after a fine race with Cadeau and Vandervelde defeated the former by a neck. An interesting meeting between Ely and Baragah, in the Grand Duke Michael, in which the former was tha victor, brought the day's racing to a close. There was very little speculation on future events beyond the advance of the Calista colt to the premiership for the Cesarewitch, and Thalestris, after her easy win in the Triennial, coming somewhat into favour for the same event.

They ran in these positions to the new ground, when Early Purl drew forward, and on the retirement of Mr Cartwright's colt at the commencement of the rails ho became second, but in turn gave way to Turcos half way up the hill, but who was never enabled to reach the leader, who won with great ease by three lengths; a bad third.

Upwards of three-quarters of an hour was lost at the post before Mr M'George was enabled to lower his flag, when they got away in an extended lino across the course. The Hersey filly, on the right, being the first away, came on slightly in advance of Biondella,Yandervelde, and Woldga, and in the centre were Gemma, Myrtle, Cadeau, Almack, and Exchequer, the others, who were headed by Crytbeia, Confederate, Clairvoyant°, and Echo, lying close in their rear, the last of all being Isca, who got badly away. As they neared the hill the Hersey filly dropped away, and the running was taken up by Vandervelde, closely attended by Cadeau, Myrtle, Gamma, and Woldga, who ran so wide that it was with difficulty their precise positions could be dis cerned, but as they entered the cords the count's colt ob tained a decided advantage, which he retained to within a dozen strides of the chair, where he ran out upon being called upon, which let up Gamma and Cadeau. The three finished a fine race, Grimshaw, by patience alone, landing Gemma the winner in the last stride by a neck, Cadeau obtaining the second money by a head from Vandervelde, GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY.

Between 12 and 1 o'clock on Monday morning there was a shuck of an earthquake in the north of England. At Leeds, Skipton, Silsden, Rochdale, Hebden Bridge, Manchester, and other places the peculiar sensation resulting from the shock was felt. In some places persons were awoke by the general tremor, and various descriptions of the phenomenon are given, some comparing it to thunder felt but not beard, others to shaking and rocking. The following particulars'are from different correspon dents of the Leeds Mercury : _ _ SKIPToN.—A strong shock of earthquake was felt in the district of Craven about 12.30 yesterday morning ! ,_ The shock was preceded _ by_a_ noise, not un;ikeihat produced by the machinery or a mill during working hours. Many persons weie awakened from their sleep, either by the noise or the shaking of the bed. Many people describe the effect experienced by them being similar to an elec. tric shock. We have heard of no damage being done. The tremor lasted fur three or four seconds. ROCHDALE.--On Monday morning, between half past 12 and 1, the vibration of an earthquake was with startling distinctness felt in Rochdale and its suburbs. Watches and clocks were stopped, four posters were violently shaken, doors and window's were rattled, bells were tinkled, dogs were set bark ing and howling, and policemen on their beats frightened. In one case a lady living in a villa on the Manchester-road was so frightened by the tremor of the earth that she got up and rung the bell, called up the servants, had the gases lit, and for nearly a couple of hours the household were in a great state of alarm, waiting probably for another shock, but their expecti.Vons were agreeably dis. appointed. Superintendent Pickering, of the county constabulary, was awoke while in bed by the shock, and says he heard a noise as if a waggon with a large boiler upon it was going down the street. In spector Cragg, of the borough police, while standing in the police office with his hand holding a bannister, felt it and the room violently shake, and heard a rum• blirg noise like distant thunder. Police officerO'Brian walking his beat felt the earth beneath his feet shake, and heard an unearthly sound. The night porter at the railway station, seated in his cabin, was much alarmed by the room -and signal wires which pass through it vibrate and rattle, and he heard a noise similar to that of an engine passing over an arch. way. A large number of other persons in the town felt the shock, and most of them agree that it was about a quarter to one when it took place. (From the Manchester Guardian) We have received several communications from which there can be no doubt that there was a slight shock of an earthquake in this district, shortly after midnight on Sunday. The time is variously stated from 12.30 a.m. to 12.40 a.m. The shock is de scribed as having proslnced the sensation .of the bed hiving been lifted in some cases, while other ob servers state that houses were shaken. The earth quake, which was accompanied by a low rumbling noise, lasted about two seconds, and seemed to pass from northeast to south-west. It was felt in Higher and Lower Broughton, in Greenheys, in Pendlebury, at Hebden Bridge, and at Clitheroe. The night was very calm and rather warm. It is rather singular that the last earthquake which was felt over a large portion.of this country occurred about this time of the year, namely, on the 6th of October, 1863. (Front the illanchestr Courier.) A rumbling noise, accompanied by a tremulous motion of the earth, and other indications of the shock from an earthquake, was heard in many parts of this county and Yorkshire shortly after midnight on Sunday. A Rochdale correspondent writes ; " A very distinct shock of earthquake, preceded by a rumbling noiso, was felt at Rochdale about ono o'clock yesterday morning. Several of the inhabi• tants were awoke from their sleep, and at a public. house of the inmates, fearing there were burglars on the premises, got up and searched the house. Tho night porter at the railway station also experienced the shock, and stated it to have lasted about twelve seconds. In some instances there was a sensible shaking of the whole building." Similar reports have reached us from Bacup, Hebden Bridge, and Broughton, but in Manchester and Salford the shock does not appear to have bean very sensibly felt, though some people, concurring in a point of time, speak of having felt a vibration which lasted a few seconds. (From the Manchester Examiner.) Shortly after midnight on Sunday a shock of earthquake was felt in this neighbourhood. At lichen Bridge, the railway porter at the station was alarmed by the large • factories near trembling from their foundations, as he expressed it, " like a cradle." Several persons in the village were awoke by the general tremor that seems to have passed. through the village ; and various are the descrip tions of the ;phenomena, some comparing it to thunder felt, but not heard, others to shaking, rock. &c. The shock appears to have been felt by a few persons in the neigtourhood of Manchester. One gentleman, residing in Broughton, informs us that he was awoke by it, at half-past twelve o'clock Another gentleman, also residing at Brougton,says that he observed it. At Pendlebnry, too, we learn that the shock was felt there at the same time as in Broughton. In Regeat-road, Salford, and also in Boneall-street, Mime, a tremulous motion, last ing only a few seconds, was perceived. "An Ohs server," dating from Sedgley-park, Prestwick, says, "Between twelve and four o'clock this morning I was alarmed by a loud noise, as if a heavy weight had fallen in the middle of the room. I was at the time in a sound sleep, but I distinctly felt my bed shake. lat once got up to ascertain the cause, but none was visible. Others of my family felt the same shock, and it extended to the stable yard where my servant was sleeping." Our Bacup correspondent says:—" On Saturday night, at half.past twelve o'clock, many of the inhabitants were startled out of bed by the sharp shock of an earthquake, which in some houses set the pots and pans violently rattling, and which was felt through the town and suburbs. It appears to have been more severely loft on the Yorkshire side of Bacup—Todmorden-road and Bricktield. The motion felt was not so much of a vibration as a sharp, sudden shock, as if some giant power had sciz:d the houses and given them a violent, momen tary shock, and all was over. At the same time the s hock passed over the night was warm and star light, though not very clear. An hour before it was intensely dark." From Ilisling,;cn a corr es p on d ent writes :—" A severe shock of an cart" q la k e was felt here this morning at 12.30, which 'Jested four seconds. At the time there was a deuce fo g , an d t h e writer experienced a sense of suffoca' ion." THE COST OF CAERGWYN, By Mary Howitt. 3 vols.—" This tale deserves high praise, It will be found extremely interesting, not merely from its local truth, but from the able manner in which different phases of character are contrasted in it, as well as the insight shown respecting the workings of the heart and conscience. The care and thought bestowed up= it raise it far beyond the ordinary level of fiction, and it will doubtless gain the popularity it muita.'—Dispatc4.
